Slowly, over the last four decades, industry has gradually begun to give Design for Testability the attention it truly deserves. This concept was originally pioneered by Ralph De Paul, Jr. in the mid 1960’s based on diagnostic ideas that he had developed in the 1950’s. During its first two decades, Design for Testability remained largely an “outsider” discipline, accepted only by a relatively small group of industry experts, until the idea finally began to take hold in the mid 1980’s.

To facilitate this objective, the partnering environment must agree upon a mutual acceptable means and mechanism to integrate these individual products together into the developing of a superior end-product.
